Heck, it's 25 with a wind chill of 11 in Beaverton, Oregon. plus we just had such a snow storm (for here) that you're not allowed on the highways without chains! [All of this, as "bad" as it is, is very unusual for this area.]

hello there,
i'm new here! we are G-d willing planning aliyah this summer. i'm interested in Tzfat in the go north program. the go north program is supposed to have better ulpan oppertunities for children. this is very, very important to me!

Hi! Welcome!

Mazal Tov on your Aliyah plans. I'm not so sure that Tzfat is considered north enough for this program.

Well, i've looked into it on the website a few times - karmiel and afula are on the list.....we are working with ppl at NBN i just can't get the info about Tzfat.has anyone been to karmiel or afula? i don't know anyone there or anything....from what i can gather those are both cities...right? some of the places on the nbn list are tiny. additionally, we are sephardi and need somewhere where there are bet knessiot for us. additionally we have older children as well as younger so we want to be in a place that has a girls' high school etc....therefore karmiel or afula should theoretically meet our needs. i really like tzfat...dh loves the place...if we don't do the go north program we have pretty much decided in Kochav Yaakov. Kochav yaakov looks AWSOME! but, if they ARE offering special hebrew tutoring for the kids than that aspect of the go north program REALLY appealsDh should be going over there next month to to make our plans and get business contacts etc.

To stay in Israel? No, not at all. Once we go, we're not coming back. It's just a lot of fun to think and dream about and not that fun to actually sell your stuff, pack a lift, say goodbye to family & friends, get your visa application notarized, blah blah...blah.

anticipation and planning is always the most fun part of an experience....but you are going to be living your dream. Its really wonderful.

God, grant us the...
Serenity to accept things we cannot change,
Courage to change the things we can, and the
Wisdom to know the difference
Patience for the things that take time
Appreciation for all that we have, and
Tolerance for those with different struggles
Freedom to live beyond the limitations of our past ways, the
Ability to feel your love for us and our love for each other and the
Strength to get up and try again even when we feel it is hopeless.
